“Some buildings are named after people. This one was built by them.

The Dan Family Aish World Center at 1 Western Wall Plaza is the beating heart of Aish’s global mission, steps from the holiest site in the Jewish world. Its name reflects a family whose connection to Aish spans three decades and runs deep.

It was such an honor and joy to welcome Mr. Leslie Dan and Mrs. Anna Dan to the Aish Legacy Summit 2026 in Miami. At 99 years young, Leslie is a World War II survivor, born in Hungary, who has spent his life building Jewish institutions across the world. Sitting with him is a reminder that the Jewish story is not abstract. It is carried by people. And he is one of the people who carried it.

Leslie was a trusted advisor and close friend of Rav Noach Weinberg zt”l, the founder of Aish HaTorah. He was there at the beginning, a guiding partner in establishing Rav Noach’s legacy and turning his dreams into reality. The Dan Family Aish World Center is part of that legacy.

His daughter Andrea Hytman and son-in-law Dr. Stuart Hytman, Chairman of the Aish Board, have continued that partnership with the same love and devotion. Together the Dan and Hytman families are the benefactors and namesakes of the Dan Family Aish World Center and the Dan Family Yeshiva Building. Aish owns 40% of the Kotel frontage property. In the Dan Family name.

One family. Three decades. One address. 1 Western Wall Plaza.”

Shabbat shalom!

A beautiful pre-Shavuot gift for ! A special shiur with renowned Torah scholar and lecturer Larry Russak of Seattle, Washington.

Larry and his wife Shelly are not only devoted supporters of Aish, they are soon-to-be grandparents of the efg@Aish program itself, with both a grandson and granddaughter joining to learn at Aish this coming fall.

That is what true partnership looks like. Invested in thought, in spirit, and in action.

Deeply grateful to the Russaks for everything they bring to this mission. Chag Sameach!

It’s always a great day when stops by the Dan Family Aish World Center for a visit!

Tal Oran is an incredible advocate for the Jewish people who has sat down for a conversation with and

“One of my highlights of the Aish Legacy Partner Summit was leading our media panel on Day 1 and then continuing the conversation on Day 2 with a focused social media session.

I opened with a simple question:

“The Jewish story is being told every day. Who’s telling it?”

It was an honor to be joined by Rabbi Daniel Rowe, Lizzy Savetsky and Shabbos Kestenbaum each bringing their own personal touch of clarity, courage, and commitment to  shaping the Jewish conversation on the global stage.

We spoke about why this moment matters, what actually breaks through in today’s media landscape, and how Aish can continue to share a voice of wisdom, love, and responsibility for the world.

On Day 2, I sat down with Shabbos for a deeper conversation about social media, influence, and the responsibility that comes with having a platform.

I left feeling grateful. For the partnership, the leadership, and the shared belief that telling our own story is not optional. It’s essential.” - Aish Global Spokesperson
